Why Buy Customer Returns?

Returned merchandise is called “returns” for the obvious reason. It has been returned. In order for it to be returned, it must have been sold. If it was once sold, there must have been a desire (Demand) for the product. Odds are, the product will sell again if it’s in good shape and the price is right. How often have you returned perfectly good items to a store? “Dad already had one.” “Sister didn’t like the color.” “It wouldn’t fit.” Maybe the customer simply needed the money back. Large retail stores value their customers. Many stores take returns with no questions asked.

Teams of buyers at your service
